“When George Bush stood up there and said that things were going fine in Katrina, I was able to write, ‘The president is wrong.’ That was pretty liberating. It was also a fact.”

This is a nice summation of what I think is wrong with the MSM. Your job as a journalist is not to feel liberated. Your job is to dispassionately report the facts. I don't even want to be able to guess from your words how you feel about the event. To me, a journalist has no right or responsibility to draw conclusions from the facts. Their job is to present the facts associated with the story, devoid of their sentiments. I am bright enough to form my own conclusions from those facts without your feelings on the matter. If I want to read a paper that makes up my mind for me, I'll read the National Enquirer or some other rag, like the New York Times.

It’ all part of feminizing the news business. Stories will be written by liberal women and men who wish they are women.
